It would be a great pity if the part taken by the Pierian in the May concert should not be a success, and it would be a still greater pity if the faithful members should find themselves so handicapped next fall by lack of support from the upperclassmen that they could not find heart to attempt a revival of the society.

The sophomores, with one or two exceptions, have their winning crew of last fall. Several of the men, until recently have been trying for the 'varsity and have all the advantages of this training. As usual a large number of freshmen are candidates for positions in their class boat, and it will not be a difficult matter to select a strong eight. They are working hard...
